50 Fathoms Player's Guide
Here's what 50 Fathoms is all about: The natives say a trio of witches were discovered working dark sorcery in the land of Ograpog. The three were tried¸ sentenced by King Amemnus himself¸ and drowned with the rising tide. But with their dying breath the sisters uttered a dark curse¸ drowning Caribdus beneath 50 Fathoms of water. Soon after¸ ships from another world drifted through the mists of earth and into the 'Thousand Isles.' The visitors are sailors from the age of piracy¸ dashing corsairs¸ bloodthirsty buccaneers¸ or savage sea dogs. They?ve taken to this new world and now sail alongside its strange inhabitants?crab-like scurillians¸ massive grael¸ lonely doreen¸ mysterious kraken¸ cruel kehana¸ and the near-human masaquani. Many believe these visitors are destined to defeat the Sea Hags and save Caribdus¸ but most just seem interested in plundering her for the forgotten treasures of a drowned world.
